HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COFFEE CUPCAKES?
- With the rack in the middle, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cupcake liners for a 12-count muffin tray should be used.
- Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, breaking up most of the cocoa clumps in a large mixing basin.
- Combine wet ingredients in another mixing bowl.
- Just until the ingredients mix together and there are no dry streaks left, pour the wet components over the dry ones and whisk to combine. There will be some loose and lumpy batter.
- To portion out the batter, fill each cup 2/3 full (do not overfill). Use an ice cream scoop to accomplish this. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes (the ideal time was 20), or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Transfer to a rack to entirely cool to room temperature before frosting after cooling in the pan for 5 minutes.
